From the book boy becomes the genius scientist of humanity

Not only is the genius scientist with great inventions, before his death, Michael Faraday also left for posterity, especially young people, precious advice.

Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was an English physicist and chemist. He has a lot of dedication to mankind in the field of electromagnetism and chemistry.

The history book tells of Michael Faraday: "As long as mankind still uses electricity, mankind must remember his merit."

Overcoming difficulties of the family

According to the story of the studious storytelling, Michael Faraday was born into a family with a father as a blacksmith and a housewife. From a young age, Michael Faraday was only able to learn through a loudspeaker at church on Sundays. After that, he soon had to quit school because of his difficult family situation, his father suffered from serious illness and constant illness.

Luckily for Michael Faraday when he had his mother, he was sure, patient, smart. Though poor, she often comforted her children to overcome family adversity.

Michael Faraday is very keen to learn. In addition to having to work with his mother, he often spends all his time studying and researching on his own.

At the age of 14, Michael Faraday went to book school in London, England. Michael Faraday has read many kinds of books, especially books on electricity and chemistry. It stimulated his curiosity and discovery. From book theory, Faraday began using old bottles to make simple experiments on electrolyte and electrolyte batteries.

One of the lucky things with Michael Faraday was the kind-hearted boss who always supported and facilitated employees to attend lectures by famous British royal scientists at that time.

On one such occasion, Michael Faraday met a reputable chemist Humphry Davy and obtained a helping hand in his laboratory. Davy was delighted and shocked to read Michael Faraday's notes in the lectures. Those are very detailed notes, adding diagrams to clarify many issues.

Striving hard, Michael Faraday, at the age of 20, began working as an assistant in the laboratory of the British Royal Academy of Sciences.

Here, he had the opportunity to learn the best experimentalists at that time, then do his own research experiments. Faraday worked very diligently and diligently to prove Davy's teacher.

16,041 experiments for humanity

From 1815, Michael Faraday began to devote himself entirely to scientific research. Now, he was fluent and understood the techniques in the laboratory. In order to serve the inventions, he collected the necessary documents, synthesized and developed the theory for research, conducted a series of experiments. Even many experiments can jeopardize one's own life.

In the 1820s, he created two carbon compounds, liquefied chlorine gas, prepared benzene from petroleum, successfully manufactured optical glass, laid the foundation for metallurgy and metal learning.

In 1821, he began a series of studies on magnetism and electricity. Michael Faraday has created a power-converting machine into mechanical energy. This is considered the first electric motor in the world.

By 1829, when Davy died, Michael Faraday continued his studies. He became a famous chemist, in addition to research work, also a professor of chemistry, teaching at the Royal Academy of Science.

Continuing Davy's research, Michael Faraday realized that in order to release the gram equivalent of the element, some electricity was used. That is, some of the electricity was released with some atoms. These studies have produced new concepts about electronics.

The most haunting thing for Michael Faraday is the magnetic field. He sprinkled some iron chips on the paper, placed on the magnet's poles and observed the force. In 1820, when a magnetic wire was discovered, Michael Faraday asked the question: If the electric current produced a magnetic field, why could the magnetic field not produce an electric current?

From here, he embarked on experiments to test and find electric induction. Then, he took another step, using a magnet to create a continuous current. With the success of this experiment, Michael Faraday was the first to invent a generator and an electrical transformer .

Faraday continued to make new strides, laying a solid foundation for the electroplating, electrolysis and electrochemical industry. The concepts of cathode, anode, electrolyte, cation, aniton that he gave are still popular today.

He also introduced the concept of the magnetic force from the explanation for electromagnetic phenomena, proving the law of conservation of charge, giving the concept of light magnetic field, detecting paramagnetism and the opposite of matter. .

March 20, 1862 is recognized as the last day in the life of scientific research by Michael Faraday. In his empirical record book, people were surprised to read the serial number of his last experiment: 16,041.

Please work even if you have not seen the small light

Not only has great influence on mankind, Michael Faraday is also a shining example for many scientific geniuses to follow. It was the scholar Albert Einstein who was still in school who always hung Faraday's picture in his classroom like an idol.

In the last days of his life, Faraday was seriously ill, demented and deaf. Looking at him in that state, people still feel like he is thinking. In the last diary line of his life, Faraday wrote:

'I am really nostalgic for the years of happiness, in my passion for working and in my dreams of finding inventions. It's sad when I know I'm about to leave my life and will never be able to return to the exciting days.

For young people, I have only one advice from life experience: Work and think even if you haven't found a small ray of light, because it is still more than sitting anyway. '
